Faithless - Killer's Lullaby (Nightmares on Wax Mix) lyrics

I'm sittin' at a coffee table
Unable to see straight
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane
The scene's bleak another train leavin' home
Conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin' in a sky, made of stone
Everybody's leavin' home
I called my man Jerome
To come meet me in the twilight zone
Leave your mobile phone at
Home and come alone
I bought him coffee and a snack
Settled back, started speakin'
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
While I'm seekin' to discover what
It takes to stay sober not cover my mistakes
Try to maybe make sense of the evidence
It's over, she's gone for good
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye
The last thing you hear
Before your life disappear
Now it just gets worse
Like my stomach will burst
Feel like I've been cursed
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house
For the last time scene of my past crimes
Been here for lifetimes
Hearin' the chimes of the old
Clock that used to mock
You got eternity for takin' stock
This place is like a padlock
You look shocked
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust
There's just us and I'm here
To torment and tease
And that's how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the couple of Saturdays
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn't get near
And the sheer frustration was more
Than I could bear i was really cursed
Thought I'd been through the worst part
That was just the first part, just the start
Every night I'd be sitting with dread
Breaking my heart in case the man she'd been
Chasin' gets to first base
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
You making love to someone else is
More than I can take
And so I make all the movement
I can to no avail scream and yell
Sinkin' deeper into my personal Hell
I'm getting heated, I'm sorry
Have another coffee
I needed to release my sparrow chest
From just a piece of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found
I'm going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is
The sound of one word
So I'm referred back to Hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges
At the thought of syringes
J, I'm going insane with shame
I dream and watch her makin'
Love over and over again
With what I call a farmer's swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick
Is always hard
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows
Oversexed flexing his pec's
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
I'm mad vex
The way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and suffer in despair
While you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there i move quick
I want to try my trick one last time
You know it's possible to
Vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I'm tryin' to change
Vibrate myself to near human pitch
Which reminds me how I
Used to come unstitched
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
It took years and an ocean of tears
To find the key to this cage
And write another stage into a new age
It's difficult to gauge
But I know that I'll see you again
On that you may depend
I just don't know how or when
Sleep on, my lost love on gone
